Advantages: Great Characters | Brill Music | It's Disney Disadvantages: Backgrounds are a little weak
...them. And today we watched Oliver & Company, the 27th animated classic that was first released in 1988, which just happens to be the year I left school. This is one of the lesser known Disney films and I really believe it deserves a little more attention so I've decided to tell you all about it.
---About the story---
As with many of the better Disney animations, Oliver & Company is based on a classic story, and in this case it's Dickens's novel ... ...been sold to new homes, Oliver is left to fend for himself on the streets of 1980's New York. He soon meets up with the streetwise mutt, Dodger and through him is introduced to Fagin's gang, which are of course all dogs. As the story unfolds, Oliver is taken in by a little girl, Jenny, who already has a spoilt poodle, Georgette and it seems as if his life is perfect….

Advantages: Very sweet heartwarming film Disadvantages: Looks a little dated
...computer animated sharper looking extravaganzas, Oliver & Company remains one of my absolute all time favourite Disney movies.

As you would expect with a Disney movie, it is a rollercoaster of emotion with sad bits and funny bits thrown in culminating in a dramatic ending where his street animal friends come to the rescue before a Disney happy ever after. I would highly recommend this film to anyone. ...
